Lincoln Park
Lincoln Park, on Chicago's north side, combines historic charm and modern style, rendering it one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods. Lincoln Park's streets are lined with Victorian row houses and three-flat condominiums, while high-rise buildings border its eastern edge along Lake Michigan. Home owners take advantage of their easy access to hundreds of acres of lakeshore parks, the Lincoln Park Zoo and Conservatory, in addition to beaches and marinas.

Families, students, and young professionals all populate Lincoln Park's numerous restaurants, coffee shops, and shops. The area contains many bars and clubs, and is centrally located for trips to the Loop or for exploring the rest of the city's nightlife and cultural attractions. Few neighborhoods offer the level of cultural sophistication and natural beauty that Lincoln Park possesses.
